The 'via media' approach to American politics

Could there be an element of truth in the argument that Trump is the only one to stand up to the military assassination sounding 'Squad'; who have issued proclamations of hate speech (against Israel); expressed animated admiration for al queda; and as if it was a matter of fun, belittled the event of 9/11 as if it were a subject for humour, et al. One could go on; but dipping one's thoughts into this linguistic swamp when it is clearly malarial sullies one So why didn't the Democrats condemn such ill chosen language by the 'Squad', when they had the opportunity? Nancy Pelosi shrugged off the offensive language as '...they are not very sure with their words' demonstrating her view of the 'Squads' adolescent bent. The Democrats' modus operandi is not to confront an issue unless the issue can damage Trump. Such an attitude is to be at war with reason. There is an expression 'via media' a Latin phrase meaning "the middle road" and it is a philosophical maxim which advocates moderation in all thoughts and actions. Perhaps the Democrat should heed this and yes,Trump too. There, I have adopted 'via media' in my concluding remark.
